FromSoftware games are notoriously difficult, a fact hilariously underscored by Kai Cenat's thousand-plus deaths in Elden Ring. This makes the accomplishments of players tackling additional challenges all the more remarkable. Streamer Dinossindgeil has etched his name in gaming history, becoming the first person to complete God Run 3 SL1 – a brutal undertaking requiring completion of seven consecutive FromSoftware games without leveling up or taking a single hit.
This monumental feat took nearly two years of relentless dedication. The emotional payoff was palpable; upon defeating the final boss, Soul of Cinder in Dark Souls III, Dinossindgeil was overcome with emotion, breaking down in tears.
The God Run 3 SL1 challenge is widely considered the most difficult in the FromSoftware community. The rules are unforgiving: seven games, no leveling, zero damage. A single hit necessitates restarting the entire run from the beginning, regardless of progress.
The sheer number of attempts is staggering. In summer 2024, a bug in Dark Souls II (an arrow clipping through a wall) ended a run after conquering Elden Ring and Dark Souls I, forcing a complete restart.
FromSoftware's response to this achievement will undoubtedly be interesting. One thing is certain: Dinossindgeil's place in gaming history is firmly secured.
